The Tunisian international of Saint-Etienne Wahbi Khazri scored this Saturday, October 30 in Metz a goal of 68 meters, one of the most distant in the history of Ligue 1, according to statistician Opta.
This is a record since Opta collects data, that is to say 2006, said the English company.
According to the Professional Football League (LFP), two goals over 60 meters have been scored in L1 since 2007, those of the Niçois David Hellebuyck (66.2 m) in 2008, and the player of Evian-Thonon-Gaillard Saber Khalifa (64.3 m) in 2013. That of Khazri, who will remain as one of the most beautiful of the season, intervened in the 16th minute of the match of the 12th day, while Metz led 1 to 0.
